Paris’ Moulin Rouge cabaret club in France faced a significant setback as the sails of its historic windmill, a symbol synonymous with the City of Lights, were lost overnight on Wednesday. The red windmill, perched atop the iconic tourist venue known for its can-can dancers, saw its blades fall sometime before 2 a.m., according to the Moulin Rouge’s general manager.
In its 135 years of existence, the Moulin Rouge has weathered numerous adventures, but this marks the first instance of such an incident befalling its wings, as noted by Jean-Victor Clerico. Fortunately, the incident occurred when the boulevard below was devoid of pedestrians, averting any injuries.
